I have seat belt mounts that have stripped threads. I'm wonding if HeliCoil's are strong enough in case of an accident. Logic tells me, yes they would be fine if installed correctly, but my gut is a little more nervous than my head. Can anyone tip the scales one way or the other for me?

donno about coupes, but in (at least) '70 and '71 Targas, the seat belt mounts were attached tp the seat sliders (outboard) and the center tunnel top (inboard) both using 2 6mm bolts in tension. i do not consider it a very good design. it does have the usual 7/16-UNF receptacle at the top of the B-pillar for the shoulder belt mount. looks just like this, from drawing 812-00 in the ETKA ('71, Main Group 8, SubGroup 12 (belts)) Attached image(s) |
